Thing #3 Why am I, a future teacher, Blogging???

Since I have been reading around, I have found out that blogging can be very useful. Blogging can be used in the classroom many ways.
                                                                     For the teacher...
 *She or he can give notes about a certain lesson and share ideas and experiences with other teachers and parents.
*The teacher can give detailed instructions for an activity in a lesson or unit. That way others can look and see what materials are needed if the handout was lost ( if one was even given out).
*The teacher could give pointers on what worked and what did not work in the classroom. Also, give alternatives to what did not work and what they did to fix the problem.
*The teacher could post daily activities for parents and students. for instance, what happened during the day, if there was any homework given, if there are any test coming up, or any important events coming up for the students.

                                                                     For the students...
* They could ask the teacher questions that they may have.
* They could give alternatives to activities that did not work or give their opinion about it.
*Lessons could be completed using the blog, individually or in small groups. This would allow students (and parents) to see other work samples from other students in the class.
* The teacher could keep track of the students blogging and give the students helpful tips and ideas for whatever they are working on while completing the blogs.
